i love, love, love patty griffin!! her music is so amazing.i discovered her on accident one day. her cd was in a listening station at borders (when i was working there). one listen to her song "rain" and i was hooked forever.other songs that i highly recommend are "forgiveness,"

"dear old friend," and "oh heavenly day."but really, i love almost every song i've ever heard by her.*sigh*she's perfect.

2. cranford

my mom and i saw the bbc production of "cranford" on masterpiece theatre this past winter.we. love. it.we just watched it again yesterday.

it was a perfect lazy sunday afternoon/night.the boys were all gone so we indulged outselfes for 291 minutes.if you like movies like "pride & prejudice" and "sense & sensibility"chances are you will love it too.

3. etsy.com

heidi introduced me to this website. it's fantastic. it a grouping of individual sellers of homemade goods.

she finds cute little barrettes and headbands for afton.

i find all kinds of hats and headband and cuffs that are so unique and crazy/beautiful. i'm filling up my christmas wish list with items that i'm finding.

4. how i live now

this novel by meg rosoff rocks my world every time i read it (thus, the title of my blog). every time i finish it i have to stop myself from turning right back to page one and immediately re-reading it. we just read it for one of the book clubs i'm in and it was really cool to hear everyone else's reaction to it. i don't know that it's a book that everyone would like . . .

"I beg you…to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without ever noticing it, live your way into the answer…" - Rainer Maria Rilke
